Abstract
This article seeks to recognize and characterize family diversity within the context of Initial Education (IE) in Ecuador, beyond a traditional model of the heteroparental nuclear family. The nuclear family within the school makes other structures such as single, extended and homoparental structures invisible. Recognizing this diversity in school is important because each infant must know it, and feel represented in their own family structure without any stereotype. The research was carried out in an Initial Education Center (IEC) of the city of Cuenca, with a qualitative approach based on ethnography and action research, therefore, various techniques and instruments were selected to know the perspectives of the teacher, infants and families. As results, the family structures of the study space were characterized and it is proposed to think about families starting from the family diversity of each classroom.
